RSLinx Classic Lite does not include OPC DA functionality. Note that you will need a license for RSLinx Classic Single Node, OEM or Gateway. You will be able to find the download of preview v2.4.4 on the Announcements category. We are expecting to release a preview version of v2.4.4 early next week, which will include a redesigned OPC DA driver together with several performance improvements related to OPC UA and several bug fixes. During the past few weeks, we have been working on a new OPC DA driver since many users still use RSLinx Classic. The current OPC DA client driver available on v2.4.3 is unable to connect to RSLinx Classic due to some bugs present on the third-party library we are using. This means that any communications with RSEmulate 5000 have to be done via OPC DA. Studio 5000 Logix Emulator software is a licensed program, so you must download the software by entering your license number from the Rockwell download page and then install the Studio 5000. However, it can communicate with RSLinx Classic. It is a virtual plc where you test the software you usually write without having a real PLC CPU with Studio 5000 Logix Emulators. It explains how to access and navigate the online help, and how to effectively use the RSLogix Emulate software. I believe RSEmulate 5000 cannot communicate over Ethernet. Preface Purpose of this document This getting results guide provides you with information on how to install and navigate the RSLogix Emulate software.
